There’s a lot to dislike about the UK government, but the way they regulated the ISP market is perfect. We have one of the most competitive ISP markets in the world.
In my time in the US several years ago I was horrified at the cost and quality of internet (and mobile) service compared to the UK.
Any strong libertarian ideals I once had were crushed by the reality of things like this. (Healthcare too but that’s another discussion).
- vidarh 9y agoI don't really think it's perfect - it lets BT milk OpenReach rather than reinvest more. But it's decent. It's worth noting, though, that this is the EU's doing, through the Telecoms Directive, not something the UK government did of its own accord.
